    O'Brien seems to be getting further South as his career goes, surprised he's not back in the SPL.

    Wonder if he ever regrets turning our contract down. Good lad. Limited player.

    He's tried to come back here a few times but claims he was told he's 'too old'.

    I would've had him back as a squad player, not good enough for first choice in the championship though.

    Hope it works out for him at Shrewsbury, top guy

    My lasting memory of Jim was I think against eventually promoted Hull City when he must have run yhe equivalent of ten marathons closing players down .
    He collapsed on to the floor and flicker went over to Jim and picked him up and carried him to a knowledge his contribution . as far as I'm concerned he was a great servant to our club and I wish him all the very best now and in the future.

    Top bloke. Dropped on him a few times in Metrodome last couple of week. Is he still seeing that Barnsley lass. Thought that would be reason for him being back here

    Yeah he's a gym member at the Metrodome, as are a few other ex Reds, he's very much still living in Barnsley with the lass he was seeing.

    Call me weird but I never saw him as a 'great' player. He was in our best midfield since the Prem with Butterfield, Drinkwater and Perkins but I think he was more of a workhorse than a skilful winger. Good luck to him though I hope he does really well for the Shrews!
